Abstract

Any modern society should be concerned over the well-being of the visually impaired citizen. It is the responsibility of the society to lessen the inconvenience and anxiety experienced by the handicapped. In addition to helping one to avoid obstacles on the sidewalks, technology can further help in navigating to places. In this paper we attempt to create a supportive environment with timely and useful information to guide the visually impaired to comfortably roam in a city that cares.
